office life

its friday and the Boss is out of the country, everyone is behaving irresponsibly, grown up adults are not at their desk simply because the big man is out of the office. i tend to find a common correlated behavior among staff of various organisations ave worked for: the helpful, the conniving, the honest, the dishonest and those who simply want to be your enemies because they enjoy spying and snooping on everyone.
my boss lost his dad and according to their culture they need a 13 day mourning period! that means i have to handle all the workload which so far i have done efficiently and promptly he's even concerned how i dont call him for consultations, i have always considered myself a fast paced learner and in fact such has been one of my strongest points.
this week so many things have happened positively around me: my gal got a job, a friend of mine too was able to get a placement after my recommendations.....wow!! and this morning am being told that muthaiga Golf club of all the clubs in Kenya does not have an accountant..boy dont i see an opportunity there. true to my word i make my intentions known with instructions to the guy that i would be interested in the part-time job anytime of the day.
the weekend is here. on Sunday am meeting Victor to discuss the way forward on his upcoming wedding and am also suppose to attend David's wedding too come 18th April....ohh i feel old already!!

Easter blast

the day was a blast had a visit from Lucas and Ali all my childhood friends whom i adore dearly we had a very good day full of laughter (no wonder i have gained weight of late). reminiscing about the good old days when we were kids and how changes have really occurred around us. the funny thing about the three of us is that we are all non conformists we are all dynamic and with variant beliefs.

talked to mum over the phone just to wish her a happy easter the funny thing about her is she considers herself to have slept on an empty stomach whenever meat does not feature in her meal. she laments to me how she hasn't eaten for days, when i ask her why she says she's tired of fish and vegetables!! 

 overally easter was a a beautiful day had a good time with my girlfriend too except for the call i got from my boss later that afternoon, his dad passed on Sunday morning. the paradox of life, while others make merry others mourn
